Affirmation of Existence
The succession to the throne of the Philo Empire was decided.
However, since the target is already the king of a country, it was officially decided that the Philo Empire would be taken over by the Veritas Kingdom.
Naturally, as the national law was also decided to follow the Veritas Kingdom, or the country that would now become the Veritas Empire, the existing royalty and nobles were shouting against the union.
It was natural.
It is rather rare for aristocrats to simply accept the promise of forcing democracy and depriving them of all privileges from those who enjoyed the privileges of a feudal society.
But they also know.
Emperor Fairn has been preparing thoroughly to carry out this plan for a long time, and now he knows that he cannot forcefully resist the mage king who has a force that surpasses that of the Millennium Empire, Ibrium, which boasts the continent’s best military power.
But there were some who thought so.
“This is rather an opportunity.”
The nobles, who were still dissatisfied with Leon’s actions, and the elders of the tower saw this as an opportunity to overthrow the board.
Still, in the Philo Empire, the situation was strange.
Doesn’t a woman rise to the head of an aristocratic family?
Thanks to that, by the custom that only the head of the 4th mage family becomes the owner of the mage tower, won’t women become the lord of the tower?
Aren’t the prospects who have been raised with hard money and deliberation to find their vision and escape from the Philo Empire’s mausoleum to find the Veritas Kingdom?
Little by little, the towers they had built with all their hard work and dedication were collapsing.
So, because the traitor frame was not removed properly, I was planning to attack Leon by attracting commoners who still harbor anger in the Veritas Kingdom, but Leon revealed a position to turn the nobles into enemies.
As Leon’s fame grew, the nobles who feared confrontation with him or judged that eating the other side was for the future, could no longer retreat.
However, no matter how many nobles have turned to the anti-Leon faction, armed protests cannot stop the flow of history.
So the idea I came up with was,
“We are categorically opposed to the succession of the Demon King to the throne. If the Demon King succeeds to the throne of the Philo Empire, we will lead the family that we have cultivated ourselves and exile to another country.”
Along with such a statement, he obtained a consent form from noble families with more than 90% and threw it into Emperor Payne.
This was a major event that could be called a peaceful coup.
As usual, it’s a story about grabbing all the nobles who signed the statement and beheading them.
However, if that happens, the nobles will eventually disappear from the Philo Empire.
It is also a problem that the military power of the Philo Empire will weaken immediately if they disappear, but the biggest problem is that the ministers who are currently leading the Philo Empire will disappear.
Leon’s plan was to establish an educational institution that could provide higher education to commoners in the future and create a system in which only commoners could run the country without relying on nobles, but the nobles beat the players first. .
If they left the Philo Empire like this, there was no way the country would be able to operate properly.
In fact, it seemed that Leon would lose his head just by running the Veritas Kingdom, which is a fairly large city, but if the Philo Empire became the size of the Empire, it could become a so-called anarchy.
The problem was not only with the aristocrats.
There were also commoners who were rather opposed to a democratic society that seemed advantageous to the common people.
It was not simply opposition to the system that Leon insisted on, but rather a rejection of the existence of the Demon King of Veritas Kingdom, Leon Parostel Veritas.
The elders and some aristocrats of the Matopians have drawn in the commoners and developed a hatred and hatred towards the Kingdom of Veritas, which exploded as news of succession to the throne.
It means that Leon, who has already betrayed the country once, cannot be made emperor to rule over them.
In such a situation, if you use force to punish the nobility, you will damage the name of ‘democracy’.
But Leon was soon able to think of a way to solve the problem.
“So what did you come all the way here to say?”
Sahara Leonhard, the queen of the beast kingdom, who had not changed at all from the first time we met, greeted Leon with a blunt attitude.
Now that she was 23, she still looked like a 10-year-old girl.
“Send nobles from the Beast Kingdom. Among those capable of running the state as much as possible, flexible minds.”
“What? why are we What’s the benefit?”
“Did you hear that I will inherit the throne this time?”
“okay. A country where everyone is equal without distinction between royalty and nobility? It’s not even funny. Even in the Beast Kingdom, the rumors about him aren’t that good. Of course it is. It’s trying to take power from those who have power, but there can’t be a headwind.”
“That’s right.”
“What?”
“They take power from those who have power. In other words, your beauties will also gain the same status as the commoners of the Philo Empire.”
At those words, Sahara pricked her ears and moved.
Currently, the beauties of the beast kingdom were being treated like slaves.
The racial discrimination was so serious that the nobility of the Suin Kingdom felt that their status was lower than that of the commoners of the Philo Empire.
In fact, the beast people are like human slaves.
Leon’s proposal would have the same result as the abolition of slavery.
“But even that is a story when I can succeed to the throne. The nobles of the Philo Empire insist that if I succeed to the throne, I will exile to another country, and if that happens, it is impossible for me to lead the Philo Empire as well. However, if the Beast tribe sends nobles, this problem will be solved.”
“But, will the humans of the Philo Empire obey the orders of the beasts?”
In Leon, everyone is calling for an equal democracy, but that cannot be changed in an instant.
Until yesterday, a slave who could not say anything even after throwing a stone suddenly sat on his head and instructed him to do this and that.
“I will have no choice but to follow. In Veritas Kingdom, there is an organization called the National Police Agency as a unit to manage security. Of course, we cannot force the actions of the citizens, but if we follow the proper procedures and violate the enacted national law, then it is enough to arrest them.”
“Ah, carrying that heinous weapon…?”
Rumors about the police in the Kingdom of Veritas seemed to be familiar to Sahara as well.
it’s bound to be
After visiting Veritas Kingdom as a tourist in a foreign country, all those who were noble and had a bad attitude toward commoners were arrested by the police.
Of course, if you resist in the process, there will inevitably be deaths.
In the first place, the writers of the nobles believed in a reliable escort and were able to strike a riot in a foreign country.
The problem was that no matter how great an escort, the police in Veritas Kingdom could not be matched.
Even a Sword Master with an 11-star Auror can’t move when five police officers at the level of ordinary people gather.
Because it was the police of Veritas Kingdom who were given an exoskeleton suit that gave ordinary people the same level of athleticism as a 9-star knight and a railgun that could penetrate even walls as a personal weapon.
In fact, when the police were dispatched to a nobleman’s house, one of the sword masters who achieved the status of 11 stars died in the process of resistance, which developed into a serious diplomatic problem.
It happened because the danger was not well communicated just by aiming the railgun at those who were not yet familiar with the fear of the railgun.
However, the ironic fact is that after the incident occurred, the number of cases in which nobles from other countries acted haphazardly decreased exponentially in Veritas.
As the notoriety about the power of the railgun spread, the nobles began to bow their heads.
Of course, it would be a different story if the opponent had 12-star status, but that hasn’t happened yet.
Well, at that time, if the troops with the Titans move, it will be resolved.
Sahara thought for a moment, then shook her head, thinking that that would be enough.
“okay. okay. Let’s talk first. But if the ministers refuse, I have no intention of forcing them to dispatch them, so I know that.”
It was Leon who was rather puzzled by that answer.
“Just like that?”
“What more do you need?”
“Democracy is not just about disappearing aristocrats. The royal family will also disappear. You will become a commoner.”
Leon thought that Sahara would ask for something instead of granting her request.
For example, if the Leonhardt royal family is just a name, ask them to keep it alive,
Or the kind of request that guarantees similar treatment to the existing royalty.
But Sahara lay her gaze on the floor without saying a word.
There was no agitation or regret in those eyes.
There were only very few resignations floating around.
Then he smiled weakly and looked at Leon.
“If it weren’t for you in the first place, I would have died. The fact that the royal family loses its political life does not change the nature of my blood. So, I think this is a reward that I couldn’t have done before.”
Leon could remember those words.
All the royals of the Beast Kingdom Diburst died.
Sahara Leonhardt became the last royal family.
Among her family and relatives, she survived alone and became a queen with a sense of mission and worked hard for the people, but in fact, she did not know that she was already so exhausted that she wanted to quit her job as a queen.
If Leon has nothing more to protect, if he loses his mother, Veronica, Ailee, Olivia and Arya, even Leon might say that even Leon doesn’t care about the country.
However, Sahara Leonhardt did not stop there and fulfilled his royal duties.
They united the will of the beasts and fought against the powerful demon king army,
I heard that the resistance army, which was formed to resist the demons, with the withdrawal of the demon king army, turned into an organization that was opposed to the queen, and had to work very hard for a peaceful solution by coordinating each other’s opinions.
Also, among the beast people, the voices that curse the Sahara as a patriot are constantly coming out.
Although Sahara had no choice but to save the Beast Kingdom, she received reinforcements by claiming to be a subordinate state of the Philo Kingdom, and thanks to that, the citizens of the Beast Kingdom have been treated like slaves by humans.
Sahara just wanted to protect the beast kingdom.
However, if Leon succeeds to the throne of the Philo Empire and a democratic system is introduced into the Suin Kingdom, Sahara and the royal family will no longer be needed.
Without the Sahara, citizens of the beast kingdom can enjoy a better quality of life.
To that end, Sahara was going to step down from her position as a responsible queen until the very end.
“What do you plan to do next?”
“I am no longer necessary for the Beast Kingdom, so I plan to hide in a quiet place and enjoy a peaceful retirement life. I have no intention of touching the treasury, but since all the royal families have died, the inheritance given to me is quite high, so I don’t have to worry about money until I die of old age.”
“Who is it? I don’t need you?”
“You know that. What kind of evaluation am I getting in the Beast Kingdom? The worst queen that I had no choice but to embrace because I couldn’t abandon her just because she was the last royal family.”
Leon shook his head at those words.
“I’m not asking about other people’s opinions. At least I need you.”
At that, Sahara looked up at Leon with a startled expression on her face.
“The beast kingdom is a country that has already been destroyed once by the demon tribes who were seduced by the demons. It was only your ability that made it rise again. I appreciate it. And when I became the king as your junior and ran the country, I felt it even more deeply. Your abilities are definitely unique. The efforts you must have made to protect the people from the actions and failures of the host country deserve to be evaluated.”
At those words, Sahara began to groan, unable to contain her tears, as if the past hardships had started to come to mind at once.
“If it were you, as my senior king, I would be able to give you some advice on leading the country. So won’t you be my advisor?”
In the end, Sahara burst out laughing with a watery face.
“what. Are you asking me to be your secretary?”
“no?”
“···no. But do you really need me?”
“If the feudal system is converted to a democracy, there will be unprecedented chaos in the Philo Empire. It will be really reassuring if you stay by my side then.”
At those words, Sahara wiped her tears and smiled brightly again.
He has lost all his family members and has been working hard to properly rule the beast kingdom that only his family left behind.
And finally, when she was no longer needed, Sahara felt that her very existence was rejected by the world.
Even if it suddenly disappears like this, no one will regret it.
But Leon told Sahara that I need you and that you come by my side.
That was all Sahara needed.
affirmation of existence.
A word that needs you.
Sahara answered with a blush in her face with a somewhat shy attitude.
“If you say so, that’s fine.”
Sahara as a royal family is up to this point,
Still, if there was someone who needed her, she wanted to be by her side forever.
